TeXmacs has a nifty and grossly under-advertised feature which is
called 'structured variants' which does exactly that (and more, see at
the end of the file circulate.scm for a list of all available
variants).

Simply place the caret inside the section heading and press Ctrl-Tab
(or Ctrl-Shift-Tab to circulate in reverse).

The only problem is that the most commonly window managers escape
these keychords (generally to change workspaces). One solution is
change your window manager configuration.

The other solution is put this code in your
~/.TeXmacs/progs/my-init-texmacs file:

(exec-file "$TEXMACS_PATH/progs" "init-texmacs.scm")

(set-keymap (always?)
("C-space" (variant-circulate #t))
("C-S-space" (variant-circulate #f)))

To bind Ctrl-space and Ctrl-Shift-space (unbound by default).

You are right, TeXmacs should be able to do that too. Anyone willing
to do a bit of Scheme hacking?

This one would make sense too.

That used to be the only way... things keep improving.

You must use Verbatim format (well... maybe text would by more
explicit...).

TeXmacs is NOT a LaTeX front-end and is unrelated to emacs.
